Jupiter International Hotel Bole

Great staff. Solid rooms. Okay location. Okay breakfast and restaurant. Tricky ATM outside front door -- don't step back! You will lose electricity occasionally but generator kicks in. Visited twice -- Nov. 2 -5 and Nov. 20. Renovation noise underway all day. Down the street from a good supermarket and restaurant the opposite direction. Empty lot next door filled with water so avoid opening windows and mosquitos.

The staff is just wonderful- warm and friendly. They made the stay. The rooms and restaurant are another story. Do not stay in even numbered rooms. Listened to Nr. Jungle disco till 2 am every night. Carpet clean but stained. This was unappealing. Mold in bath shower grout was ugly. Refrigerator did not work. Toilet required taking lid off to refill. Friend’s door lock would not close and had to get manager to fix. Beds were comfortable though and they had nice towels.
Breakfast and dinner were not that good. I would give it a 2 out of 4, or a “C”. Dinner had cold rice and plain boiled vegetables on a plate with a chicken leg smothered in a brown gravy. Breakfast was marginal with a limited selection, with the serving plates often empty- they would get more if you asked.
Again, the staff was delightful. This is a low budget hotel by American standards.

Well located hotel. Decent sized rooms with reasonable amenities. Nice, included breakfast. Friendly staff, anxious to make your stay as comfortable as possible. On site security. Bar with coffee and alcohol.

I had an excellent overnight stay here. All of the staff were welcoming and professional, from airport shuttle driver, to reception, to room service. My room was clean and well organized. Breakfast was just OK.

The staff was exceptional, very friendly, polite and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast spread was very good. My stay was very pleasant and comfortable and I’ll highly recommend this property. I was very impressed with the quality of the property. Thanks to everyone who made my stay very enjoyable.

I really appreciated the friendliness and helpfulness of the hotel staff throughout my stay. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The food was quite good, although the only downside was the limited variety on the restaurant menu.

Excellent staff

As a transit passenger, I expected a comfortable stay, but unfortunately, Jupiter Hotel Bole did not meet my expectations. The food menu is extremely limited, with very few options to choose from. If you’re looking for variety, this is not the place to dine. Moreover, the dining experience itself is inconvenient—you are required to eat in the bar, which doesn’t offer a comfortable or pleasant atmosphere for a proper meal.

Overall, I would not recommend this hotel for transit passengers or anyone expecting a more comprehensive and convenient dining experience. There are likely better options nearby.

ABSOLUTELY DEPLORABLE SERVICE. FIRST ROOM I WAS IN HAD THE CARPET AND TOILET SMELLING. WHOEVER THE SUPERVISOR IS WAS UNBELIVABLY RUDE. I HAD NO CHOICE AND IT WAS MADE WORSE BY INTERLINE STAFF. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. OVER 10 YEARS OF TRANSITING THROUGH ADDIS AND THIS WAS THE WORST.

Sometimes the fruits of breakfast is not fresh, watermelons, pineapple juice, I met twice.

Close to the airport, close to Addis city centre, comfortable room, good friendly service, good food in bar and restaurant. Only downside is noisy nightclub nearby, keeps you awake unless you have earplugs. I would give it 5* but that wretched night club makes it lose a saar for me.

I checked in this hotel on 9 Dec and checked out on 16 Dec. This hotel is very nice and staff are charming and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay and I look forward to visiting again when an opportunity arises.

I have had several trips to Addis, but had not had the opportunity to stay in Jupiter. This hotel has met my business trip needs- the rooms are very spacious- they pride themselves on this! The Bole location is where I stayed and it was a great time - very helpful staff- Yordanos Demeke, Urael, Salaam - thank you for all the help during my stay. The hotel offers a very homely setting. The 24-hour shuttle service is another great offer this hotel has got; I watched many travelers pick it as a choice for transit before their flights the next morning. The Bole branch is very near the airport- less than 10 mins in my opinion by shuttle.

The flip side of this location though is that you may not be able to walk much as a foreigner there are many people around the place. So if you choose to walk do not carry any valuables. There is a supermarket in the Friendship building where you can find items to add to your mini refrigerator for a long stay. I visited Cazanchise twice for the gymn and sauna- both visits were well coordinated and the services were great.

I have stayed in this hotel for 31 nights with my younger brothers. It was a fabulous stay. Rooms are so clean and their beds are comfortable. Breakfast has so many varieties ….. we enjoyed their local dishes….. lots to choose from anyway. I couldn’t thank enough all staffs who works there for their special services. They are wonderful and helpful staffs in every regards. My special appreciation goes to Selamawit Tulu who made our stay so beautiful. She did everything she could to make sure we had everything we want. Other very hospitable staffs like Hanna Solomon, Abdi….. Frewoini (chef) … Kudos to you all as well for the best service you provided us. Special thanks to Amsalework (Hotel Manager) who always come to check on us.
I do love the hotel and would definitely stay there again. The hotel is located very close to the airport, very safe area and so convenient to access and explore everything.

Cheers!!

Staff not clear on the hotel policy. Based on who I asked, I was provided conflicting information. I was not provided clear guidance. The staff is not up to par in customer service. They needs major training.

It’s was great overall.

The hotel is outstanding and the services are excellent.

Superb service, transfer from AirPort and a smooth and fast check-in. Very hospitable staff all around. Restaurant on site with good variety and selection.

Close to the airport

Airport shuttle service is prompt

Breakfast is limited but good enough

Room in general is clean

Shower water is hot; a nice treat after omo valley visit

Staff are friendly; unfortunately the front desk lady didn’t know that national museum is closed so I made a trip for nothing

I stayed at this hotel for two days. The food was ok and the room was ok except the towels which were old and stained. The rooms lack sound proof due to which any noise on the corridor was loudly disturbing. The cleaning crew in the morning wakes you up because of their loud voices - they are like construction workers. There was complimentary breakfast but the entire room was reserved so I was asked to dine in the bar on a bar table - I found this disrespectful. There should be no first class and second class customers. The hotel need to avoid discriminatory services.
